19 Then
His mother and brothers came to Him, and could not approach Him because of the
crowd. 20 And it
was told Him by some, who said, “Your mother and Your brothers are
standing outside, desiring to see You.” 21 But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God
and do it.”
Commentary
Having declared the seriousness in which we all are to receive the Word of God with. Jesus is now told by a certain individual in the crowd that His mother and brothers are seeking to see Him, to which Jesus responds by saying: “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.” Jesus then clearly reveals that family ties in the Kingdom of God only go as deep as one hears and does the Word of God, thus, believing in and obeying Him is the mark of our true family (consider Matt. 10:34-42).
